Mines has got to be A Farewell to Arms, by Ernest Hemingway. Its set on the Italian Front of WW1. The war really just serves as a back drop for the main protagonists love affair and he is only an American who volunteered for the italian ambulance service but i think its truly great, definately one of the great WW1 novels. The novel is semi-autobiographical so the horro of the italian front is conveyed thorugh Hemingway's firsthand experience. He paints a picture of the war, so grim, that by the end of the book, the once glorious image of war now sickens you. This is the reason i love it so. It doesn't romantasize the war but paints the truth, like much post WW1 literature. :grin
